I MPRovEMENT- IN BUNGS.

` flfhe Schedule referred to in theseLettexe P*atnt and making part of the lieu-ne,V

Be a knew-n 'om einem WA'RTH, of stapler-n,- in; the county of lgichmond and State of N 'ew York,

have inve'nted. a7 new'and `improvedTap and' Bong combined; and'ldohereby,deolarethat the following' isa full, clear," and exact description thereof, which will "n'nble others skilled .in` the art to make and nsethe same, Ireference .being` had tothe accompanying 'drawing forming part of; this specification, in .which draw- Figure 2 i's anuinsideyiewof the same.

Similgu letters indicate corresponding parts.

This inventionr'elates 'to that class ofdevices iwvherc-jv In the drawing- The letter A designates `abung, to the inner face of which isseclflred1 tap, composedjof avalve, awb i'ch -is'pressednpfby 'meansof a spring, b, against aseat,

c, formed onthe interface o faplete, d. Fromthe inner 'surface of,this"plate extends an open tube, e, whioh-incioses the spring '11,'andthe seat c is'bored ont, to'xeceive the' spout f, which extends into afliole bored `through thejcenter--ofthe b ung;

. `Theplate cl'isfastenedtoftbe'bnng,by a ange- H ning,` g, and by screws, tliejoint between it and said bung being made tight bysav backing-piece, h, (see iig. 1,) or in" anydesirable manner..

The spout fis, by preference-made inf two parts,- the outer part, t, being-,made in the forel of an elbow. and removable, so tbatthe same can be withdrawnj from thebung whenevrit may be desirable.

Figure IV represents a' central Section5-of4 this inven tion. Y i

' e When the bung is driven home in the bung-hole of af'barrel or cask,vsai'd barrel 4or caskis hermetically closed, and it can -be transported to any distance with perfect safety.

vWhen it is desired todraw off some of its contents',

the barrel or cask is turned sons to bring the'bungin a horizont-al or downwardly-inclincd` position, thc elbow. i is inserted, and, by forcing the valve abackv 'against 4theaction of its spring, the 'liquid contained n the barrel or cask is free to discharge.v

It is obvious that the elbow t' may be w-made to 'e xtend to anyf desired distance beyond the bung, solas, fo carrythe liqnid clear of .the cask or barrel. v

By theseineans a bung is obtained which is '.rcry cheap in its construction, cost-ing less than one-twentieth of an ordinary tap, and which allows of tappi-ng its cask or barrel with ease and'convenience.

I arnawa're of the patent granted to Thomas Win- `claim5 but Y v What I claim as new, andy desire to secure by Let-v whole constructed and arranged as herein shownand described.
